Gwilherm Evano

Gwilherm Evano studied chemistry at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, France, and received his PhD from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 2002 under the supervision of Profs. François Couty and Claude Agami. After postdoctoral studies with Prof. James S. Panek at Boston University, working on natural product synthesis, he joined the CNRS as an associate professor in 2004. He then moved to the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, where he became the head of the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry in 2012. His research focuses on natural/bioactive product synthesis, copper catalysis, photoredox catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and the chemistry of ynamides and other heteroatom-substituted alkynes as well as reactive intermediates.
